    News From Around the NHL *Mod warning page 75*

    BIG NEWS https://x.com/craigsmorgan/status/1876320360863514922 >NHL currently working with Arizona officials to bring the Yotes back to the state Love this idea of restoring a classic old franchise. Feels like the league lost some of its appeal since the yotes left. I just pray Gary doesn't screw this up by trying to change an iconic team name or something like that, like what happened with the mighty ducks and the wild.

    No, were not stopping at McDefendolds. We have perfectly good Buium and Wallinder at home.

    TITLE CHANGE - 2025 UFA/RFA July 1! (plus summer trades)

    In juniors Ras was front net nightmare for tri cities. Hes really only been used that way on random occassion here...IMO every Wings coach has stunted him. He should have been a 4th line forward with PP time when he first came here. Theyve developed him into a decent PKer... but its classic round hole square peg crap. Hes not physical for his size because he's an O minded player. Im fine with him taking PK duty, but kid should have been learning holmstrom duties 300 seasons ago. Amazing how mismanaged this player has been. Hes never going to be cal clutterbuck. His game is being annoyingly large and able to pot rebounds. So lets make him kill penalties. Frustrating.

    Lions 2024 thread

    You wanna piss like a puppy? Stay on the Porch... Let the big dogs EAT. Minessota has spent 2 million dollars to subsidize 2000 of their season ticket holders to attend this game... There shall come a day when the roar of the lion fails... BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY. This day 60,000 Lions fans drive the Vikings back into the sea/lake michigan/superior. Black unis on means we mean bizness. f*** SAM DARNOLD f*** JUSTIN JEFFERSON f*** EVERY TEAM THAT CLOWNED ON US FOR 60 ******* YEARS. NOW is OUR time. NOW is OUR year. And we will NOT be denied. This is the first time in history a team will win 14 games and lose their division. I do not at all feel bad that the Vikings must wear that. Jared - lez go BAYBEE

    Berggren is mehhhh. How are we not talking about Joe Veleno? He's been a beast since Todd took the reins and unleashed him. Kid looking like a top6 center. Forget Cozens.

    Lalonde FIRED. McLellan Hired!

    Some of this is on Larkin unfortunately. Got his huge contract last year. Lost his child middle of last year. Lost playoff fight while he was out of the lineup. His "giving a F" seems to be at an all time low. Entire season so far he has not been vocal on the ice. Not creative. Not inspired. Watch the last presser and he says "disconnected" about 300 times. Maybe this is due to Newsy losing the room, but IMO Larks seems to have given up fighting through/against all that. Got his paycheck. Got his problems at home. Why beat your head against a wall for an idiot coach and coasters like Kane? He's probably already accepted the season is shot. Day 1 for Mclellan needs to be a 1 on 1 with Dylan to sell him the plan and reinspire him. Without Larkin on 100%, this team 100% has no chance. Day 2 for Todd needs to be grabbing Kaner by the balls. Literally. While he winces: "start playing with these or I promise I will staple them to the fuqqing bench, idgaf how many awards they won 8 fuqqing years ago" The problem with Derek was a continuation of the same problem we had with Blash: The infamous players coach. No real cultural change happened. We're still "connecting" with players to "inspire" a process of winning. Miss us wit dat rainbow sheit. Do your job or gtfo. I foresee much more change coming. Steve has committed to Todd for multiple years, this isnt an interim gig. Jan-Feb will be an evaluation period for Mcllellan. Taking inventory. Those he doesn't like or want will be offered to Stephen as tradeable assets. Deals involving Ras and Veleno will probably be explored. Kane and Gustafsson are most likely done in Detroit one way or another. Yawney is most likely here as Todds confidant and second set of eyes on Tanguay, Varaday, and Westlund. I can see 1 or all 3 removed as coaches at seasons end. Lastly, the elephant in the room is Chris Yzerman. It's been rumored SY leans on him for proscouting since their days in Tampa. But Gustafsson, Holl, Tarasenko, Petry have been horrible evaluations/additions... we have not had a director of pro scouting since the retirement of Mark Howe. Chris seemed in line for that position, until recently. He's probably not going to be fired because of his last name, but someone likely needs to be installed ahead of him as director and SY's new right hand in proscouting. TBL poached Pushor and Routa off of our staff. Time for SY to clap back and bring someone he trusts from their over. Thinking Al Murray, who currently serves as senior advisor to Brisebois. Hand him the pro scouting dept and make him the 4th AGM if necessary.

    Lalonde FIRED. McLellan Hired!

    You know its a desperation move when 99% of fans are celebrating lalonde being gone, instead of mclellan being hired. Goalie carousel meet coach carousel. Team has reached apex mediocre trap joke status. This period will be unnaturally extended for too long because Yzerman lacks his tampa staff, but has an infinte leash. Most GMs dont survive 3 coaches. Does anyone actually believe Todd will bring us a cup? He's signed for multiple years. The smart ones stopped paying attention 8 years ago. Go lions.

    Lalonde FIRED. McLellan Hired!

    I can't help but wonder, what if we had dumped and chased it just one more time? Like the old saying "99% of gamblers quit right before they win big". 99% of hockey teams quit dumping and chasing right b4 the dump n chase is about to payoff HUGE. I hope Todd dumps and chases MORE. I can feel that it's about to hit. Dump didnt work the first time dylan? Did you try dumping a 2nd time? A 3rd? Stick to da prosess dylan. Respek da systum.

    Lalonde FIRED. McLellan Hired!

    Naturally SY grabbed the only guy with a connection to the Wings. This thing he has about only hiring guys hes worked with b4 leaves us somewhat limited. However Todd has a lot of coaching under his belt. SY basically 180ed from rookie to well seasoned. He's also shown to be good at coaching rebuild teams. Just cant get it done in the playoffs. Bigger story is Boughner and his terrible PK are gone. However, Todd plays boring trap defense, so dont expect games to get more exciting... I personally did not expect a firing so soon... now that it happened im starting to wonder if SYs seat is hotter than anyone expects. We are in year 6 and the team looks like its in another year of the mediocrity cycle. A lot of his moves the past 2 years have been head scratchingly dumb... Walman, Fabbri, Gustafsson, Tarasenko, Kostin, bad coaches, goalie carousel, not buying, not selling. He probably has a longer leash than anyone, but if this was anyone not named SY, this move would stink like desperation to save ones job...

    Red Wings 2024-25 Season Catch All

    Can't win if you don't gamble. SY not looking to good though. He apparently wanted to give MORE to Stammer to win the player from Nashville. Walman is making that trade look down right foolish. Tarasenko Kane and Gustafsson suck. Coaching already in question. This team has deeper problems than whether or not Stamkos is sucking with Nash.

    How Hard is it to Win the Cup?

    Do i need to deliver the obvious? Larkin and Ray SUCK ASS compared to McDavid, Matthews, Bedard, and Hughes. So is your point our rebuild wont win dick? Cause i agree. But it seems a liltle regarded IMO to s*** on other teams teams short comingings when we have worse players... but hey thats just me. If you hadnt noticed, it aint 98 or even 08 anymore.

    Red Wings 2024-25 Season Catch All

    I dont disagree with you, but none of this is unique. You can say this about any team and any sport. Its the nature of it all. And It's the mediocritty trap that teams fall into. And I would argue this team has fallen into it with Larkin. He's barely good enough, and our roster is needy enough, that yall are absolutely okay with it. Hes a medicore defensive center with A-/B+ scoring for a 1st liner. But LOL look how dumb Karlsson and Bouchard and Highes are! Brother, takeaway the wings jersey, and hes right there with em.

    How Hard is it to Win the Cup?

    So you're implying Hughes and Pettersson are not good enough or tough enough to go all the way to a cup? IDK really. Those 2 seems pretty good to me. Rest of the team after them i dont care for. Pius Suter scoting like a top 6er i see lol

    GDT : Season 98 Episode 26 ; Impeached in Parliament

    How can anyone not be focused on the Lions right now? (Sorry canadians) They're breaking scoring records as a team. Breaking rushing records as a tandem. Literally every starter on D is on IR and theyre still winning games. The lions have masked yzermans failures in the hockey world because only canuck wing bros from sarnia are paying attention. Detroit is watching the motor city kitties eat up the NFL. I remember guys like me saying crap like that during the Harrington era and batch eras and then looking stupid, but this feels so much different. Imjuries dont matter. Defense seemingly doesnt matter. Our 3rd 4thstring just steps up and gets it done. But to bury the defense a lil, our offense makes it seem like "defense wins championships" is for idiots. Campell already has the lombardi trophy. The lions are a case study in what GOOD COACHING can do. I do believe they got heavy assistance from drafting well,but the lions have done that plenty of years b4 this witj terrible results. Dan campbell has single handedly changed this franchise. I truly belive that Glen could make the same selections under patricia and none of this would turn out remotely similar. We have a special coach right now.

    GDT : Season 98 Episode 26 ; Impeached in Parliament

    Honestly I'm starting to feel embarrassed rooting for the wings. I should've felt the same 5 and even 10 years ago. I held onto the notion that this was the best run franchise in sports and would eventually turn around, because of the past success. But f*** this Do u think this team is really ever gona win dick in the larkin era? If this is your best player the league is not threatened. Oh here comes 35 yo Kane. He did stuff once upon a time. Debrincat is not a 1 dinensional small scoring forward whos eaisly shut down Welcome to Minnesota Mediocrity. A team of pretty good players. But hey one of these pretty good guys could turn out to be good. Then we can be like the rangers and constantly score decent points but never achieve anything Umunless Raymond, seider, and ed are game changing stars; they serious help

    You're going have a much better time shifting to the Lions. They are at 1997-98 red wing level right now. I'm not joking, this team appears special. Hockey is my farvorite sport too, but before the Red Wings, I was a major Pistons fan. If you're a detroit homer shift. Something historic is happening. If youre a weird canadian that has nothing to shift to and is stuck with your choice in the red wings. Sorry?

    GDT: Season 98 Episode 25 ; Ruined by The Bruins?

    What is with the amount of Lalonde on the hot seat trash being thrown around? We have been in a grueling rebuild for 8 years. This guy nearly got us into the playoffs in his 2nd year, but now he's going to be canned just a couple months into his 3rd? How long did the guy before him last as a perpetual dumpster team? 7 years? I know fan and media expectations lifted after last season, but come now, this is still a team that ultimately didn't make it and is still building towards the future. That means peaks and valleys (JUST LIKE LAST YEAR). Furthermore, it's been reported on a lot that Yzerman only likes to hire individuals he is familiar with, and can trust to execute his design. So who TF we gonna hire to replace the News? Tanguay, a 4th year assistant? Boughner, a guy who hasn't been in contention for any HC jobs since he lost his last one 3 years ago, and who also got demoted to assistant last year? Watson, a 2nd year AHL coach? My point is: highly unlikely News is on the hot seat IMO. He'll be back next year as well unless he starts pissing on the zambonis or something.

    I don't understand why these love spells are so region specific. Like your magic is only effective in the USA Australia and Singapore??? I could understand if maybe the wizard was an English and whatever TF Singapore speaks, speaker... but that begs the question, what magical protections do other english speaking countries like the UK and Canada possess that we in the U.S. do not? Sure, Hogwarts is in England, but they neverrrr mention a Canadian school of witchcraft and wizardry in the books or movies. And I read the one with the tri-wizard tournament. So if these spells can't even penetrate the muggle metropolis of Ontario... how good could this wizard even be? It's been a few weeks, and guys, I'm starting to think we are not getting our QT Singapore wives and our money is gone...

    I google translated "Lages" from Lagesson. Lages in Swedish means "create". So his last name is literally "creators son". Christ is with us. Bless.
